Watch The Big Lebowski

"Times like these call for a Big Lebowski."

In this comedy, a ridiculously laid-back stoner called The Dude is mistaken for a wealthy guy with whom he shares a surname. The mistaken identity draws the wrong Lebowski into a madcap misadventure. Although not a commercial success, the film has become a cult phenomenon among fans who deeply love The Dude. Jeff Bridges and John Goodman star.

The Big Lebowski News

Everybody had fun with Tara Reid a couple months ago when she mentioned in an interview that "The Big Lebowski 2" was going to start production this year, especially the Coen Bros.

Ethan Coen told Austin360.com at the time "I'm glad she's working on it," but said the writer/directors of the original didn't know anything about a sequel.

"Well, we don't but we'll watch it when it comes out," he said.

'The Big Lebowski' Sequel Hoax Pulls One Big 'Gotcha!'

Pro-Tip: Carefully consider the validity of any story credited to "The Ass Press." A faux-news report announcing the coming of a sequel to "The Big Lebowski" made it further than it every reasonably should have - even a CBS outlet initially confirmed it. The Coen Brothers, of course, have never had any interest in following up on their 1998 comedy classic.
